make sure and do this procedure over a well lubed cam shaft helps with brake in, heres a tip before the final wash of the block insert the bearing in the saddle this well help hold the bearing as you file then rotate the bearing so the oppposite side is up repeat filing. thanks for this great tip

I've never had a hole off that bad. Actually, never had any trouble. I do like that trust mod. That's pretty slick.

I don't see it a whole lot, and it's mainly in mexican cast blocks from the mid 80's but I do see it every now and then on US cast blocks from the same era.

With the misalignment it seems like it would put pressure behind the bearing pushing the bearing into the crankshaft.

Note to everyone. This mod should be done after the block has had its FIRST basic cleaning, as well as any other de-buring. I like the cats seen through number 7 hole.

Cool I would have been scared to modify the bearing 😅

Dont be scared lol

Probably better to line up the block with the bearing because oil can get underneath the bearing which can increase the chance of a spun bearing.

If the bearing crush is right there is no chance of a spun bearing. Either way works, I chose to do the bearing because the block was just washed and the cam was installed.

@@Marksracingengines As the wash & cam installed had been done I would do bearing oil hole. I check bearing & all hole alignment at time of block deburing & thread chasing get that out of the way before I even start cleaning.

@@Sabe53 well I understand,and that's the way I normally do it. However in this particular case, the customer decided to go with a different rotating assembly at the last minute. Hence the reason for a different bearing.

What do you use for bearings

@Marksracingengines 7 күн бұрын

Depending on the application I normally use Clevite, sometimes King and ACL . This particular engine needed narrow bearings for the crank radius, so I used King race series bearings because that's what I had in stock at the time lol. but honestly King, ACL, and Clevite are all good bearings these days. for Nitrous and forced induction applications, I use King coated race bearings. They are very impressive and can take a beating like no other that I have used.
